American
Soldier: We got a fuckin‘ problem
Security-Adviser:
What happened? Is it the Trump ignoring the Intel and going to try to hit the
Syrians? And that we’re pissing on the Russians?
AS:
This is bad…Things are spooling up.
SA:
You may not have seen Trump’s press conference yesterday.
He’s bought into the media story without asking to see the Intel. We are likely
to get our asses kicked by the Russians. Fucking dangerous. Where are the
goddamn adults? The failure of the chain of command to tell the President the
truth, whether he wants to hear it or not, will go down in history as one of
our worst moments.
AS:
I don’t know. None of this makes any sense. We KNOW that there was no chemical
attack. The Syrians struck a weapons cache (a legitimate military target) and
there was collateral damage. That’s it. They did not conduct any sort of a
chemical attack.
AS:
And now we’re shoving a shit load of TLAMs (tomahawks) up their ass.
SA:
There has been a hidden agenda all along. This is about trying to ultimately go
after Iran. What the people around Trump do not understand is that the Russians
are not a paper tiger and that they have more robust military capability than
we do.
AS: I
don’t know what the Russians are going to do. They might hang back and let the
Syrians defend their own borders, or they might provide some sort of tepid
support, or they might blow us the fuck out of the airspace and back into Iraq.
I honestly don’t know what to expect right now. I feel like anything is
possible. The russian air defense system is capable of taking out our
TLAMs. this is a big fucking deal…we are still all systems go…
SA: You
are so right. Russia is not going to take this lying down
SA:
Who is pushing this? Is it coming from Votel (General Joseph L. Votel, Commander of United States Central
Command, editor‘s note)?
AS: I
don’t know. It’s from someone big though. . . . This is a big fucking deal.
AS: It
has to be POTUS.
AS: They
[the russians] are weighing their options. Indications are they are going
to be passive supporters of syria and not engage their systems unless their own
assets are threatened..in other words, the sky is fucking blue.’

SA:
What are the Russians doing or saying Am I correct that we did little
real damage to Russia or Syria?
AS:
We didn’t hit a damn thing, thankfully. They retrograded all their aircraft and
personnel. We basically gave them a very expensive fireworks display.
AS: They
knew where ships were and watched the entire strike from launch to end game.
AS: The
Russians are furious. Claiming we have the real Intel and know the truth about
the weapons depot strike.
AS: They
are correct.
AS: I
guess it really didn’t matter whether we elected Clinton or Trump. Fuck.
AS: No
one is talking about the entire reason we’re in Iraq and Syria in the first
place. That mission is fucked now.
SA:
Are any of your colleagues pissed or is everyone going along with it and saying
this is OK
AS: It’s
a mad house. . . .Hell we even told the Russians an hour before impact
SA:
But they clearly knew it was coming
AS: Oh
of course
AS: Now
Fox is saying we chose to hit the Syrian airfield because it is where the
chemical attacks were launched from. Wow. Can’t make this shit up.
SA:
They are. I mean, making it up
AS: It’s
so fuckin evil
SA:
Amen!!!

AS:
Russians are being extremely reasonable. Despite what the
news is reporting they are still trying to deconflict and coordinate the air
campaign.
SA:
I don’t think the russia yet understands how crazy Trump is
over this. And i don’t think we appreciate how much damage the Russians can do
to us.
AS:
They’re showing amazing restraint and been unbelievably
calm. They seem mostly interested in de-escalating everything. They don’t want
to lose our support in the help with destroying Isis.
SA:
But I get the get the feeling are simply trying this
approach for as long as they feel it might work. If we keep pushing this
current aggressive stance they’re going to hit back.
